Juventus have completed an £18m deal for Porto defender and Manchester United target Alex Sandro, reports suggest.
According to the Daily Express, the 24-year-old defender will pen a five-year deal with the defending Serie A champions.
Sandro has made six appearances for Brazil while totaling 86 throughout his Porto career.
Man United are believed to have backed off it its pursuit of the Brazilian international, with English left-back Luke Shaw showing plenty of promise this season.
Matteo Darmian has also performed well for the Red Devils since arriving at Old Trafford on a £13m deal.
The Red Devils have been relatively solid defensively and are yet to concede a goal in the Premier League this season.
United will reportedly continue to pursue Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller after losing out on Barcelona winger Pedro, who signed with Chelsea on a shock deal.
